I taught Teddi how to play dead when I say "Bang!" using a treat. I had him lay down on his tummy, then with the treat in my hand, I guided my hand from the front of his face towards his side (belly) and up over above him (on his back). The point is that he will follow the treat with his nose/mouth and the movement will help him roll over without touching him at all. (Sorry, it's kinda hard to explain...) Then when he's in the proper position, I say "Bang!" and give him the treat!
